You will not be updated to CentOS-5.x from any version of CentOS-4.Does this make sense?Is there a quick way to tell where any particular machine is in the minor-rev level when the release file just says 5?
Yes ... cat /etc/redhat-release In 5.2, it says "CentOS release 5.2 (Final)" You can also do: rpm -q centos-release it says : centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2 == 5.0 centos-release-5-1.el5.centos == 5.1 centos-release-5-2.el5.centos == 5.2
